Preventive Maintenance Checklist

Your air conditioning and furnace need to have the blower filters replaced every three months. Also, remove any weeds or trash that have grown around the air conditioning condenser, located outside your home on a concrete slab. Also, check for water heater leaking in Miami, FL.

Check your faucets. Any that are dripping need to have the valve stems seals replaced. If the there is a lot of water leaking from the base of the faucet housing, it may be necessary to replace the worn-out faucet assembly.

Check your tubs and sinks. If you notice black mold forming on the caulking around these fixtures, replace the caulking. Be sure to adequately remove any mold located behind the old caulking before applying a new bead.

Test the sump pump. Do this by pouring a bucket of water into the sump pit. The water should disappear within a few seconds. If it does not, contact your local Roto-Rooter service.
